A Healthy Eating Guide

Most of us realize that drastic changes in our diet are usually short lived.  Adopting a sensible and healthy eating guide is wise for many reasons.  The Dr. Phil Diet Plan is based on just such principles.  Read the review below to find out more. 

The Dr. Phil Diet Plan

The basis of this diet plan is healthy eating and lifestyle changes. It was developed by Dr. Phil McGraw, a popular no-nonsense talk show host. The program focuses more on emotional eaters and is based on understanding the cycle of why we overeat.

The diet plan is easy to follow.  There are no strange menus and the program does not require food combining.  Eating a wide variety of natural whole foods is encourages, including lean protein and small amounts of the “good for you” fats. 

This diet plan is in line with many Low GI eating plans currently on the market.  Dr. Phil devotes a large part of his book to helping the dieter change their thoughts of food and negative body image.

The Dr. Phil diet is a seven-point plan. Basically, here is how it works:

The dieter will write a summary of what they will eat the entire day and then stick to it.  The daily diet menu should consist of three servings of lean protein, two servings of low-fat dairy products, and two to three servings of whole grain carbs, two fruits, four servings of vegetables and one small serving of healthy fats such as nuts, seeds or olive oil.

This diet is based on healthy eating guidelines and is a plan many dietitians approve.
